Hi.
Does anyone have any 256MB stick PC66/100 kicking around?
I have a ThinkPad 600 at present and have just picked up a 600E which is missing drives and RAM.
I am going to transplant all the bits from the 600 to the 600E.
My 600 has 2x128MB sticks of RAM, the most it can take and some of the reason for switching to the 600E as the 600E can take 2x256MB sticks.
Does anyone have any spare 256MB sticks of PC66/100 so I can max out this beauty?

256MB PC100 would be very rare as back when PC100 was in common use that would have been an expensive stick of memory. I can in that era remember paying between £1 and £2 a MB even for fairly generic stuff.
Your best bet is probably to check out places like ebay, but beware that Kingston specify a specific compatible module rather than a generic one so there could be something "funny" about the RAM that laptop requires. Otherwise 2 new sticks of the Kingston recommended part in the few places that still have stock (it's discontinued) would cost you more than a low end Netbook. PC133 is more available but sadly, probably won't work.

It requires low-density RAM sticks and no only PC66/PC100 will work.
